The 50 Best Albums of 2025 have arrived!!!!! Did your favorite make the list? stagedhaze.com/2025/12/08/sta…

.@slayyyter's third studio album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA is a chaotic, feral blend of punk, corroded pop, and raunchy rap inspired by her upbringing in St. Louis. Our review: stagedhaze.com/2026/03/26/sla…

.@raye's new album THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. isn't a comeback or a reinvention, it's a release. Like she’s finally kicked the door off its hinges and is rifling through every version of herself she was ever told to keep quiet. Our review: stagedhaze.com/2026/03/26/ray…

Although @snailmail's new album, 'Ricochet,' is focused around death, it's highly confident, and more enthusiastic than her previous works. 'Ricochet' drops tomorrow. Here's our early review: stagedhaze.com/2026/03/26/sna…

.@dcfc releases new single "Riptides" and announces 11th studio album, 'I Built You A Tower,' dropping via @AntiRecords - marking their return to an indie label after two decades at @AtlanticRecords. stagedhaze.com/2026/03/16/dea…

Rising pop artist Eli (Journal of a Doll) sold out NYC's @lprnyc and brought her fantastic debut album 'Stage Girl' to life. Our review: stagedhaze.com/2026/03/13/ris…

Support the Girls Fest served as a fundraiser for @pushupbrala's 2026 programming, and took over both stages at the Hotel Cafe with over 15 performances from artists like Carol Ades, Debbii Dawson, Grace Enger, Ella Jane, and others. stagedhaze.com/2026/03/11/ins…

.@Harry_Styles recently described the magic of hearing a song for the first time and realizing it might stay with you forever. #KATTDO leans into that pursuit, taking its listeners through a journey of self-discovery, freedom, and romanticism. Our review: stagedhaze.com/2026/03/09/get…

Koko Love's debut album, 'The Cost of Freedom,' has spent the past year living in the physical world, vinyl, and Bandcamp. Today, it arrives on streaming. We spoke with the independent artist on making music i the digital age, building a fanbase, and more: stagedhaze.com/2026/03/06/kok…

.@charlottesands's new album demonstrates to the industry and her peers, the actualized artist she is. She sites artists like @evanescence and @paramore as inspiration and uses them to inform her sound, but what comes out is entirely her own. Our review: stagedhaze.com/2026/03/06/cha…

The #Lollapalooza lineup predictions just got interesting after that #outsidelands lineup dropping... Our thoughts: bit.ly/lolla-2026

@jvbdaily @brooklynsteel @PressHere @JoeyValence @heybrae Thank you!!

@stagedhaze @brooklynsteel @PressHere Hi, just letting you know you tagged the wrong account in the photo. This is a fan account, Joey & Brae’s real accounts are @JoeyValence and @heybrae

Joey Valence & Brae didn’t just play a show on Tuesday night at @brooklynsteel, they threw a full-on rager. There’s a shameless, go-for-it party streak in their music that feels self-aware and fully committed. Our review: stagedhaze.com/2026/02/27/joe…

Unlike the glamorized symbolism in other artists’ ballads, semi-about urban sprawl and decay, 'Nothing's About to Happen to Me' lets us know Mother Nature, lightning, and lakes are powerful indicators here to guide. Our review on @mitskileaks' new album: stagedhaze.com/2026/02/27/eve…

The ability to write as an empathetic, detached witness while clearly grappling with personal experience makes .@Lillielalamusic's newest album, 'Heaven 2,' cinematic. The album drops tomorrow via @subpop. Our review: stagedhaze.com/2026/02/26/all…

We chatted with @eyesg00gly about her creative process, collaborating with @ToveLo and @flumemusic, and her upcoming EP, 'paint me like one of your fav american girls.' Check out our interview below: stagedhaze.com/2026/02/24/an-…

One thing that’s cool about @HilaryDuff's renaissance is that she’s not dismissive of the career that she built for herself. She’s embracing it, and embracing the fans that have been fans since they were kids, too. More on #hilaryduff's new album: stagedhaze.com/2026/02/23/hil…

On #WutheringHeights, @charli_xcx remains faithful to the dance genre, while honoring the themes of the classic “Wuthering Heights” love story. She proves that yearning, romance, and dance are timeless endeavors. Our review: stagedhaze.com/2026/02/16/cha…

.@AugustPonthier's debut album 'Everywhere Isn't Texas' is the kind of album where the lyrics meet you exactly where you are, offering clarity, comfort, and confrontation in equal measure. Ponthier turns personal reflection into something quietly communal. stagedhaze.com/2026/02/12/aug…
